Multiplex Easy Star 2 Camera Carrier

After buying my Go Pro Hero 3 I wanted to attach it to my MPX Easy Star 2. I was looking for a method, which was firm, safe and removable(!), so I was able to use the plane without the weight of the Go Pro. Just like a stock Easy Star.

To fix the the carrier I took a Velcro strip, originally used for holding together skiers:

And here is a video I shot with this Go Pro Carrier and the MPX Easy Star 2.
